Chapter 106: Interlocking Schemes

Yes, the reason why these bandits have fallen to this point is completely induced by Shelley himself.

She first marched most of her troops in formation, declaring openly that they were going to attack the stronghold. The purpose was to make the bandits mistakenly believe that they were preparing for a frontal attack.

Shelley calculated that the other party would definitely have a disdain for a team like them because of a trap.

As long as they are paralyzed by this point of view, these people will naturally go underground with peace of mind under the inducement of Shelley.

As for how to let them go underground, it is actually a method of hiding from the sky and crossing the sea. Let Scarlet Moon and Momo climb up the cliff. Then let Scarlet Moon use her abilities to create a fake soldier in a piece.

Yes, the crowding figures, the screams of slaughter, and the large rocks they saw were hallucinations. The goal is to make them aware that the den is threatened and that it will be dangerous to stay outside.

Of course, it's not enough to just have a fake property, so let Momo kill one person so that the real scene will push their decision to go underground even more.

And this has the added advantage of not giving them the opportunity to perceive that their true purpose is to save others.

Because once they realized this, they would decide that the people on the cliff would not dare to actually push the stones down, and they would be able to take the girls out as hostages. So this is something to avoid anyway.

Only by truly allowing them to see someone being killed by an attack from above can they dispel the possibility of thinking in this direction, and firmly believe that the big rock will definitely be pushed down in a moment.

As a result, they must have been induced by the trust in the trap they had set and the stone to be pushed down in a moment, and ordered everyone to hide underground.

Because it must have been ordered under a state of emergency, they must not have had time to take Runqi and them to hide together.

And just after they hid, the next step was to secretly Chen Cang.

The large army that had blocked the entrance immediately dispersed, giving way to a group of lightly armed squads without any armor. They ran as fast as they could. This small group of soldiers was the most important force in this operation.

Shelley made a point to make them write down a safe route before the operation, and as long as the other party's people were hiding, it was their time to appear.

Naturally, not letting them wear armor is also to speed up their movements, and reduce the movement they emit as they move forward.

Although Momo's ability could not penetrate due to the presence of holy stones underground, at least the locations of all the entrances and exits of the underground were determined.

As soon as these people entered the stockade, they worked in groups of twos and twos, according to a predetermined distribution, and blocked all the entrances and exits.

At this point, Shelley's order is over, and the next thing is to wait quietly.

Because she concluded that it wouldn't be long before the people inside would lose their ability to fight. In this way, dealing with them is naturally like catching a turtle in an urn.

“…… But I still don't understand, Your Highness the Princess, how do you conclude that they will faint? ”

Faced with Payne's question, Shelley did not rush to answer, but looked at Scarlet Moon.

"You have some knowledge, can you see why?" Three k

"Looking at their symptoms, it should be certain that they are hypoxic. That is, they have exhausted all the air. Speaking of this, Scarlet Moon was full of doubts on her face, "But the space below is not small, shouldn't it be so quick for all of them to become like this?" ”

"Well, it's good to think of suffocation from lack of oxygen, and indeed, that's the direct cause of their fainting. And the reason why you can't figure out why it's so fast is because you're missing something. The presence of this thing accelerates the consumption of air underground. ”

Several people thought about it for a long time, but they couldn't think of what Shelley was referring to.

"Think about it, after all the entrances and exits are closed, it will naturally cause no sunlight to penetrate at all, so what will be the state of the underground space?"

"Naturally......, it's going to be very dark," Scarlet Moon finally knew what it was, "it's a torch!" Yes, it is said in the knowledge of chemistry that the burning of the flame will consume oxygen quickly, and there are so many of them squeezed down, if there is no light, there will be chaos, so they must have lit a lot of torches for lighting! ”

"Yes, that's why."

When Shelley presented the stereoscopic view in Scarlet Moon, he had already seen that the place should have been free of large-scale damage since it was built, so he deduced that there had never been an incident where they had all taken refuge together.

And when they entered, they blocked all the entrances and exits, which verified this. Therefore, they are not aware of the dangers caused by torches in a confined space.

Without this knowledge, it is not surprising to have a large number of torches on hand.

And this gave Shelley the opportunity to capture this place without a single soldier.

On the surface, it seems that Shelley's strategy led to such a result. But in fact, the real reason is that the information held by the two sides is seriously unequal.

These robbers had no idea that Shelley's side not only mastered their terrain, but also had a reserve of knowledge that they could not match. Therefore, this kind of terrain warfare, which is difficult to fight in front of anyone, is as easy as finding things in Shelley's eyes.

“…… Now you should understand that no matter what kind of action, the collection of intelligence, the use of strategies, and the psychological speculation of the enemy are indispensable, and you still have a lot to learn. ”

In the face of Shelley's education, several people accepted it with an open mind, and they no longer dared to be perfunctory.

After a while, the inventory of the stockade was over, and a group of pale, obviously frightened people, were brought before Shelley. Most of these people were good-looking women, while others were obviously old people who were doing rough work.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, in addition to the bandits and the rescued girls, we have also found some people who were taken captive here a long time ago, how to deal with these people?"

"Well, do a good job of appeasing, if you want to go back to your hometown, arrange a special escort, if you are homeless, bring them back to Yongle City, place them in a temporary residence, and supply them with a certain degree of living materials, and then take your time."

After listening to Shelley's words, these people showed a look of relief, and they all bowed their heads and said words of thanks.

With them in order, Shelley turned her gaze to the things that had been brought up from the ground. Sure enough, they were all some gold, silver, jewelry, and other goods.

But Mo Mo leaned over and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, I have seen it with my ability, but I still can't see through the bottom, so the things haven't been taken out yet." And when I got so close, I felt that it seemed to be a little different from ordinary holy stones. ”

"What's the difference?"

Mo Mo scratched his head, squeezed his brows and thought for a moment and said, "How can I say it, the holy stone can directly eliminate the effect of our ability and make us incapacitated. But the area down there, although it is also uncomfortable, feels more like a rejection of my ability than an elimination, or that my ability seems to be blocked by something. ”
